UPDATE 4: (July 6): We added a PAGE with REVOLUTION videos. For now there’s no scene with Elizabeth obviously, so all the videos won’t be added in the media archive, but we thought they are worth the watching to know what the series is about and its style.

REVOLUTION is one of the highly anticipated shows of the season. At the end of this page we added other reviews from people who watched the pilot already (Hollywood Report included), so you can read some further details.

UPDATE 2/3 (July 2): The production of the series starts on July 16. REVOLUTION page has been updated and I also added some nice Elizabeth mentions at the end of this post.

UPDATE: I did some digging. So here some info:

Elizabeth joins J.J. Abrams’ new show REVOLUTION as series regular. She’ll play Rachel Matheson, the mother of the two leads, Charlie and Danny Matheson, and appear in the series in flashbacks (it looks like the character is dead in present day – watch sneak peek 3 below -). The pilot was filmed in Georgia, but they’ll shoot the series in Wilmington, NC. It is produced by Warner Bros and will premiere Monday, Sept. 17 at 10/9c on NBC but there’ll be a world premiere screening of the pilot at Comic-Con on Wednesday, July 11, or during the Revolution panel on Saturday, July 14.

I’m posting some trailers and sneak peeks of the pilot, not with Elizabeth, because she should film the scenes previusly shot by Andrea Roth (Harper from LOST) in that role. (updated) You can watch all the videos HERE.

NBC’s Revolution, the much anticipated – at least by me – post-Apocalypse show from J.J. Abrams and Eric Kripke had added to more actresses to the cast in the (fine) form of Daniella Alonso and that of Elizabeth Mitchell, who portrayed one of my favorite and role-bullying characters ever as Juliet in LOST. Post-Apocalypse might be pushing it, but the general gist of Revolution is we are 15 years after that the word’s power shuts of and since I’m not there to change the batteries or flip the switch, humanity and civilization falls, and nobody can be on Twitter or Facebook (like I said, post-Apocalypse). The world reacts like a cool video game by forming militias that fight each other.

Elizabeth Mitchell’s body of work thus far has put her all over the map as far as genres go, but more recently, it’s likely that people would associate her best for the work she’s done in sci-fi, having played key roles in ABC’s Lost, and more recently, the short-lived V. It looks like she’ll be sticking to the genre, as it’s been reported that she’s joining NBC’s promising-looking scifi-drama series Revolution.

Revolution takes place after all energy on earth ceases to exist and society has to move forward without electricity. The series already has a lot going for it, with J.J. Abrams and Eric Kripke behind it and an exciting-sounding premise to work with. It also has a cast that includes Billy Burke and Giancarlo Esposito. And now according to TV Guide, Elizabeth Mitchell is joining the series, taking over the role originally played by Andrea Roth in the pilot. Back in May, Deadline reported that Roth’s role as the mother of the two lead characters in the series was being reworked, which led to the former Rescue Me star’s exit from the series.

TV Guide says Mitchell’s Revolution character Rachel will appear on the series in flashbacks, which is a shift from how they had the character set up in the pilot, when Roth was playing the role. Roth’s version of Rachel appeared in the present day. But I have to figure that this isn’t the only change being made, otherwise why the recast, right? Based on what we’ve seen of Roth and Mitchell in past roles, I would speculate that the nature of the character might also have changed. While both actors have proven the ability to play strong, capable women, Roth’s roles in Rescue Me and more recently Ringer had her playing someone with a bit of a tough, sneaky streak in her. Whereas Mitchell seems like she might be a better fit for someone with softer, more maternal side, assuming that’s what they’re going for. Regardless, Mitchell’s addition is great casting news, and a new reason to look forward to Revolution.

“Revolution” will reunite Elizabeth Mitchell with J.J. Abrams. The actress, who played Dr. Juliet Burke on “Lost” which was co-created by Abrams, has landed a regular role on his upcoming show.

The 34-year-old beauty will portray Rachel Matheson, the mother of Charlie (Tracy Spiridakos) and Danny (Graham Rogers) who embark on a dangerous journey after the world was suddenly thrust back into the dark ages without electricity.

Rachel is described as a beautiful and warm parent who’s terrified of the ordeal that her children will face as they navigate the dystopian world. The character will appear in flashbacks and was previously portrayed by Andrea Roth in the pilot.

Of all the new network shows premiering this Fall, ‘Revolution‘ surely looks the most ambitious. An epic science fiction tale from the guys behind ‘Lost‘ and ‘Supernatural‘? What is there not to be excited about? The trailers for ‘Revolution’ — which takes place in a world where electricity has mysteriously ceased to be, sending the entire planet into a post-apocalyptic tailspin — definitely look promising.

Mitchell will be playing the role of Rachel Matheson, mother to two of the series protagonists, Charlie and Danny. The character was played by another actress in the pilot, but it looks like the producers decided the role needed a little more star power and the character’s scenes will be reshot. Deadline says that her character is expected to appear in a number of flashbacks in addition to her time in the pilot, which suggests that Rachel Matheson may not be long for this world.

Mitchell was one of the best actresses on ‘Lost’ (quite a feat considering the quality of that cast).We don’t know how large her role in ‘Revolution’ is, but her casting is just another reason to tune into what looks like one of the coolest shows of 2012.

Thanks to some last-minute recasting, scene-stealing beauty Elizabeth Mitchell, a veteran of Lost and one of the best things in the reboot of V, will be a regular on the NBC post-apocalyptic series Revolution.

The high-buzz new series is a collaboration of Lost creator J.J. Abrams and Supernatural creator Eric Kripke, which means this will be a reunion for Mitchell and Abrams. And thanks to both Lost and V, Mitchell has plenty of experience playing characters dealing with a radically changed world.

Mitchell will play Rachel Matheson, the mother of Charlie Matheson (Tracy Spiridakos) and Danny Matheson (Graham Rogers). The character, played in the pilot by Andrea Roth of Rescue Me, will appear in the series in flashbacks.

Revolution already features a small cluster of actors who can make any character fascinating, including Billy Burke, Giancarlo Esposito, and Tim Guinee; adding Mitchell to that mix makes this series even more must-see.

Also joining Revolution is Friday Night Lights survivor Daniella Alonso, who has landed the role of Nora on the show. Kripke describes her as a “rebel fighter, battling against the militia that controls North America. And she’s got a lot of rough water under the bridge with Miles, Billy Burke’s character. And she likes to blow stuff up.”

As Gil Scott-Heron famously promised, the revolution will not be televised — and in the case of NBC’s Revolution, that can be chalked up to the fact that the titular rebellion takes place in a world void of electricity.

Part post-apocalyptic thriller, part road movie, the latest project from Supernatural creator Eric Kripke and executive producer J.J. Abrams is one of the network’s most-talked about debuts for the fall season. The Hollywood Reporter caught the pilot ahead of its September premiere, so to maintain the breakneck speed of our Fall Preview 2012, here are five things to know about the dystopian drama.

1. It’s a version of the world we live in. The pilot actually kicks off in modern-day Chicago just as all of the world’s televisions, cars, freezers, light bulbs, phones and — gasp! — even iPads simultaneously flicker and turn off. While there’s no attempt to explain the globe’s sudden rejection of physics, even when events quickly move forward to 15 years after the great blackout, it is hinted that some have information that they aren’t sharing with others.

2. Listen up, Twilight fans. There may not be any vampires or werewolves in Revolution, but it does count franchise star Billy Burke (aka Forks police chief Charlie Swan) as its lead actor. Burke is joined by frequent Good Wife guest Tim Guinee, Breaking Bad creep Giancarlo Esposito, David Lyons (The Cape), Andrea Roth (Rescue Me), Tracy Spiridakos (Being Human), Anna Lise Phillips and a slew of others.

3. Don’t get attached to anyone on that roll call. Revolution doles out causalities early in the pilot, and the series seems prepared dispatch most of the primary players without much hesitation. And aside for notable deaths, there’s also just a good deal of carnage. Fight sequences and often gruesome demises take up a solid 10 or 15 percent of the first episode.

4. Prepare for flashbacks. As has been the custom with most complicated, arc-based serials in this post-Lost world, the first look at Revolution includes asides to the day the power went out. Given the mortality rate, and the how little attention is given to the events surrounding the black-out, the series seems poised to pepper the occasional time warp as the story moves forward.

5. Twist! The genre all but guarantees a few gotcha moments as the story warms up and Revolution delivers several. The pilot ends with one relatively expected revelation and two rather surprising ones.

Revolution begins on NBC’s Monday lineup this fall at 10 p.m., after The Voice, starting Sept. 17. Check out the promo below and hit the comments with your thoughts.

1. Revolution (NBC)

Revolution is NBC’s upcoming sci-fi series, set in a post-apocalyptic future where all forms of electricity have mysteriously disappeared. Without electricity, humanity has had to reinvent itself, and warlords with militias have taken the place of governments. The story follows the Matheson family, who are protecting an object that might explain how the blackout happened, and how to reverse its effects.

‘Revolution’ takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where electricity has vanished

Obviously, this will be an ambitious series. As with most sci-fi dramas, Revolution’s success will depend on whether its characters can stand out amongst the striking Life After People-style visuals. There’s some good acting talent here, too, like Elizabeth Mitchell (Lost) and Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad). Call me cautiously optimistic.

REVOLUTION (fall)
WALKING DEAD meets LOST minus the zombies and island. It feels epic. Great acting, music, pacing, writing, cinematography, story and whatever else goes into making a show awesome. Unlike some pilots where you are left thinking “this could be good once they get comfortable telling the story” this one feels excellent from beginning to end. J.J. Abrams (LOST, FRINGE) and Eric Kripke (SUPERNATURAL) may just have created the next big thing. Please, TV gods, let this be successful. 98.4 out of 100

I’ve seen Revolution. Unlike “Alcatraz” and “Terra Nova” last year where I had to will myself to give those shows a chance after seeing them because I love the “scifi” genre and hope for it to succeed, this one made me want to watch the 2nd episode immediately.

Hey I read that, but in the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqHyMuwrHsA Charlie says “my mom is dead”. I know they revamped the character so maybe there is a chance she might be alive, In some articles I also read that Andrea Roth has scenes in present day while Liz just in the flashbacks, so I also thought maybe they got it wrong: Adrea Roth had scenes in the flashbacks (that’s why Charlie says she’s dead) and Elizabeth’ll have scenes in present day. I don’t know. I hope she has a centric role. I really missed all this!
